3:00 am
i ran my first marathon and plan on thaoeft two a year until -- plan on at least two a year until i tkao. thanks to everyone who responded. >> have a great day, folks. "fox & friends" starts now. >>gretchen: good morning. it's wednesday, april 20, 2013. i'm gretchen carlson. did you know it's national sibling day. send us your photos. we're going to be talking to some our siblings. >> a north korean missile launch imminent according to a report from south korea. they are telling tourists to take cover. now word that we've been having secret meetings all along. we'll try to tell you what's going on. >>steve: you can't tour the white house. they canceled the tours. but you can pay for a party there. of course celebrities are the only ones invited. we'll tell you about what went down last night. >>brian: she thought rehab was bad.
3:01 am
try facing david letterman. >> what are they going to work on when you walk through the door? what is on their list? >> we didn't discuss this in the pre-interview. >>brian: that awkward late-nightent view that had lindsay lohan squirming in her seat. what did she expect when she said dave, i'll come. "fox & friends" starts now. >>steve: i thought it was going to be a nice little interview. i didn't know you would ask why i've been in the news for the last three years. >>brian: charlie sheen will be walking you down the red carpet when you're in scare wraoe movie 111. >>steve: that you for joining us today. we've been talking about this. after weeks of threats, north korea could be ready to launch a missile today. a top south korean official saying a missile test fire
3:02 am
is imminent. >>gretchen: u.s. intelligence believes the north completed prep for that missile test and this are fears it may come as early as today. >>brian: the president of the foundation of defense of democracy joins us now. cliff, we've been through perilous times with north korea already. what is different about this? >> not a lot. the technology has been ratcheting up. you've got kim jong un, the third in the dynastic line that goes back to the korean war. he is a young guy, 29 years old, the new dictator. he wants to show what he's made of, wants to show he can make fools out of the americans and japanese as his father and grandfather did. >>steve: the standing of the united states over the last couple of years, our standing has kind of gone down on the world stage. now is his big chance to try something stupid, isn't
3:03 am
it? >> yeah. i think he may want to do that. in 2010 what his father did was hit a south korean ship and killed 46 sailors. he shelled an island, fishing village on an island, killed four people. paid no price for it. he likes to show he can do terrible things and not only not pay a price for it but get rewards for this kaoeupbgd thing. this dynasty has been making fools of american presidents for a long period of time. they say give me this and promises not fulfilled and they are proliferating technology around the world not least to iran their longtime nuclear partner. >>gretchen: what do you make of the fact that there may have been talks going on all along? obviously the united states is not sitting there silent. we wouldn't expect that. but what do you think is going on? >> when you talk to the north koreans, it is pretty difficult. i don't know exactly, but they make their demands. they promise various things dough -- they don't int-pbd
3:04 am
to fulfill. we have to recognize we haven't been successful for a very long time with the north koreans. i think it is time for various things to happen. the chinese need to understand this is your baby. you take care of it. we're giving no aid and no trade. the europeans need to cut that off as well. the south koreans need to give up on aiding and trading with north korea. it is going to be rough. we should want this regime to fall finally. it is among one of the most oppressive regimes in the world. something like 200,000 north koreans are living in population camps. a big portion is chronically malnourished. most people don't have electricity, can't turn on a light. it is not just this ankle biter regime in north korea. they have been partners with the iranians. >>brian: the main thing is today their action, sending off a rocket, it
3:05 am
seems like everything is in place for action today and our response is what everyone is thinking about. cliff, thanks for joining us this morning. >>gretchen: brand-new video in to "fox & friends," the american parents accused of kidnapping their own kids and sailing off to cuba, they are back in tampa around 3 this morning. their two sons also on the flight. the hawkins were tossed in jail. the children back with their grandparents. parents lost custody after police found them in a hotel with the boys surrounded by weapons and drugs. >> right now we're looking forward, getting them in our arms and hugging them and being with them and getting them home where they'll be safe again. >>gretchen: the family dog was also taken to cuba. authorities gave it to the boys once they landed in florida. >> yesterday there was a
3:06 am
box cutter style knife carried around campus by a 20-year-old. he was arrested but it could have been worse if he wasn't stopped by a classmate. >> i put him on the ground and asked him why? why did you stab these people? he didn't answer because we knocked his hearing aid out. >>gretchen: quick reportedly told cops he planned the rampage for a long time and fantasized about stabbing people for years. this morning two people remain in critical condition. in a few hours jana winter, the fox news reporter facing jail time, will head to court amid a judge's ruling about whether she should testify in court. her story revealed before james holmes shot up a movie theater in colorado, he sent a package to a psychiatrist. the judge has to decide whether the notebook will
3:07 am
be allowed as evidence in the trial. today we'll hear from an officer who had contacts with that notebook. >> someone who doesn't give lindsay lohan a pass. last night david letterman grilled the actress about her stint in rehab. >> what are they rehabbing, first of all? what is on their list? what are they going to work on when you walk through the door? >> we didn't discuss this in the pre-interview. >> do you have addiction problems. >> do you have alcohol? do you drink too much? >> we discussed this already. >> really? i'm the one having the blackouts. >>gretchen: lohan facing a 90 day stay as part of a plea deal in a traffic accident case. those are your headlines. >>brian: everybody knows she is a train wreck.
3:08 am
she's got to get to rehab right away. hopefully this will push her in there. >>steve: he always asks the questions people want to know. the president of the united states -- did you hear this? the blue angels, their shows for the rest of the year have been canceled by the navy. famously we have told you about how the white house tours are closed to all of us, the public. however, if you're a hollywood big shot, you might have gotten an invitation because last night there in the east room of the white house, they taped in performance at the white house memphis soul. it is going to run on pbs next week. there is justin timberlake. he's bringing sequester back. >>brian: or he's ignoring sequester. they were able to do this at taxpayers' expense. they had to bring in secret service to work overtime. that is going to cost us some money. just imagine the security that has to surround celebrities. queen latifah was there, al green to name a few.
3:09 am
the party went late into the night. i'm sure it was entertaining. i'm sure it was fun. you think about the president trying to have -- if optics matter, and clearly they don't seem to, it seems as though the president is not understanding how that looks, especially to those people in the military who are told you can't fly, you can't train. people who are being furloughed -- like your chef being furloughed once a week. >>gretchen: or you can't try al qaeda's son-in-law in new york city because you don't have enough money as well. you could go on and on and on. in the meantime, a man who used to be part of the financial team of the president said we should be thankful the president decided to give $20,000 back to -- of his salary. >> it is getting better at a modest rate. it needs to be faster. where were you when the president gave back $20,000
3:10 am
of his salary, gave back to the taxpayer? >> cry me a river. forget the $20,000. how about stop taking vacations? $180,000 air force one hour. you're on drugs. you can't be serious. >>steve: the $20,000 is the president giving back to the federal treasury which he could get a tax write off for if he chooses would essentially run air force for 20 minutes. it is a drop in the bucket. >>gretchen: it makes a good headline. >>steve: so little. >>gretchen: this administration is fantastic about simple messaging and headlines. when people hear he gave back part of his salary and that's what they hear throughout the day, that's
3:11 am
what they hear. it would be nice to know how much the total bill was for everything. i bet if you juxtapose that against how much it would do have the start white house tours, i bet you could do weeks and weeks of white house tours to make up. >>brian: now they're allowing garden tours so we can see the vegetable garden if we go there. that will be great. >>steve: the president later today will officially unveil his budget, likely propose more than $3.5 trillion worth of government spending in the next year. we understand that apparently it would impose the buffett rule which would require wealthy families to pay at least 30% of income in taxes, although right now the wealthiest are up close to 40% right now. some of the other highlights: reduce future social security increases. not going to be a social security cut. it's simply going to be a decrease in the increase. >>brian: here's the deal,
3:12 am
the president said i'm going to show you, america, that i am going to taken -- attack entitlements. i'm going to do it on medicare and social security. he is going to introduced chained c.p.i. which will no longer link inflation to the amount of money that you get. if inflation goes up, it is not going to affect your paycheck. it will be $130 billion over ten years and up to 339 during that time if you factor in everything. but you won't get the raise in age, which i thought was important. if you can get it up to 67 because we're living a lot longer than we used to -- >>gretchen: so i'm clear, there is no discussion about changing the age at which people will be able to -- because that was what he originally put on the table. ostensibly he put it on the table about two years when having discussion with republicans about the debt and when he assembled the debt commission. it is interesting that in this budget there is no
3:13 am
discussion about lowering or putting up the age as to when you're entitled to receive it. >>brian: means testing will not be a part of it. if you don't need social security, you're going to get it. >>steve: the president has been in office over four years. why is he talking about taking a whack at entitlements? he wants to reach across with the republicans. he's going to have dinner with a dozen of them tonight. he wants to appear that he is essentially caving to some of their needs. remember, he also wants to create a bench more tax revenue -- create a bunch more tax revenue which the republicans are against. meantime he's got trouble from his left flank. moveon.org were in the white house yesterday saying hey, mr. president, you can't cut social security. >>brian: at least the budget is there. let's start talking. good luck at dinner tonight. >>gretchen: msnbc launching a new campaign telling parents your kids aren't your responsibility alone. >> we have to break through our private idea that kids belong to their parents or
3:14 am
families and recognize kids belong to whole communities. >>gretchen: is the network trying to push the traditional family out of the picture? >>brian: with $17 trillion in debt, would you think the government would watch their money closer? stuart varney says no.

3:18 am
overlapping and duplicative federal spending costing taxpayers an estimated $95 billion each year. >>brian: stuart varney is here. is there anything we can do to fix this? >> probably not. more government equals more bureaucracy. more government spending equals more departments that have to pass the money out. once you've got a program, you can't get rid of it. in other words, waste, duplication are with us for a long time to come. >>gretchen: i remember the president when he first took office saying one of his main goals was to be looking at this waste in these programs and that he would eliminate them. >> that's true. >>brian: line by line. >> go along with me for a second. how about six different military uniform design offices, 83 teacher quality programs. i've got a lot more than that one. how about 76 drug abuse prevention programs? i mean, 76 of them. my own personal favorite: three different catfish
3:19 am
inspection programs. the list goes on. something else here. once you've got a program, how do you kill it? how do you kill a government program? because a congressman somewhere has skin in the game. that's going to put money to his or her district. they're going to fight for it. >>steve: in washington they've got to build a building. you've got a building, you've got to do something. it's not a case the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. in washington, d.c. it is like an octopus. there are a million different hands out there. >>brian: of the recommendations of the g.s.a. of the last couple of years, few have been acted. >> the government's budget i believe contains $25 billion worth of savings by eliminated some duplicative programs. do you think those savings will actually be realized? when that budget hits the floor of congress and they go through it, those congressmen will be saying you can't cut that.
3:20 am
you can't do that. >>gretchen: it would seem when it's pointed out so easily for you and somebody has ton the work and produced all of this duplication that if you really wanted to cut spending, you would say let's enact some of these suggestions. >> that's a misunderstanding, a, of the nature of government which is always bureaucratic and always fights for its own turf. and, b, a misunderstanding, in my opinion of president obama's approach to spending. he does not really want to cut government spending. he sees government spending as the engine of growth. >>brian: stuart, we're going to hear more about that on "varney and company." >> cut me off. >>steve: you'll have a couple of hours on your show. stuart, thank you very much. >>brian: straight ahead, government reach hits a whole new level. left-leaning msnbc says kids don't belong to their families. they belong to the community. >>gretchen: watch where you sit because that chair

3:25 am
gretch? >>gretchen: msnbc under scrutiny for an ad about parenting essentially saying your kids are not your own. check it out. >> we have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. your kids is yours and totally your responsibility. we haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children. part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents orchids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. >>gretchen: should entire communities be responsible for raising your kids? tony perkins is the president of the family research council. good morning to you, tony. >> good morning. >> this is melissa harris perry, professor at tulane university. she also does weekend shows on msnbc. this is part of an ad campaign for the entire
3:26 am
network. when you first heard that, what was your reaction? >> well, i was thinking, where were they when i was changing the diapers of my five kids. this idea of collectism that everyone but no one is responsibility. it is a nutty notion, gretchen, but a staple idea of the left. this is the 201 version of hillary clinton. this is the intellectual love child of the great society and the sexual revolution where everyone but no one is responsible. it's insane but it's a reality of the way the left thinks, the way they view our children. >>gretchen: to a certain extent, i understand what she means, that, yeah, people in the community do affect the lives of your children. i'm thinking about teachers, coaches, you know, sunday schoolteachers, piano teachers, neighbors. but that's a little bit different than a theory that those people are
3:27 am
responsible in completely raising your child; right? >> yeah. first off, this idea that our children belong to the community, from a judeo- christian world view, scripture is clear we are to care for and look out for our neighbor. that idea i'm all for. we all benefit when children do well. when i grew up in a small town in oklahoma, everybody's parent was watching out for other people's kids. but they still knew who that child belonged to. parents are responsible. kids are still born to moms and dads, to women and men. it still takes a man and woman to create a child. children aren't born to the neighborhood watch, they are born to a man and woman. there is a reason for that. god gives them to man and woman. we have decades worth of social science that show children do best with a mom and dad who love them who are married and care for them. moving away from that notion, which the left
3:28 am
would love to do, would be devastating for society. >>gretchen: there was obviously a firestorm after these ads started airing and harris perry defended it on her blog. here is what she said. those of you alarmed can relax. i have no desire of taking your kids. we live in a nation where slave holders took infants from the arms of my foremothers and sold them for profit but that is not what i was talking about, and you know it. reaction? >> she's absolutely right. we do have a tragic past in this country where children were taken from their parents, and i don't think that's what she means at all. but i think there is this liberal ideology driving this that children are a product of -- so they happen right now to come from a man and woman but they belong to all of us. we should care for our neighbor. we should be very concerned about how the kids down the street do because as a society we all rise or fall based upon how the next generation does. but the reality is first
3:29 am
off, children are not a commodity. they are a gift of the lord. as parents, they come to a mom and a dad, we have a responsibility as the parent to raise those children. they don't belong to us. they are loaned to us for a short period of time. we ought to do the best we can do and we should help out our neighbor. we should work to make sure that every child in america has opportunities to succeed. but we can never back off and take -- absolve ourselves of our responsibility as parents to raise our children. >>gretchen: tony perkins, president of the family research council. thanks for your thoughts today. >> good to be with you. >>gretchen: it is already tough enough for college grads to pay off their loans and the government is about to make it harder by doubling the interest rate. what you need to know next. a childhood favorite on broadway and anna kooiman got a back stage pass to "annie." ♪

3:50 am
his belief that states should be forced to desegregate schools and everything else. you know that republicans were responsible for voting for the civil rights act, as you mentioned, and getting it passed. i think that's when democrats said hey, let's rewrite history. did you know the democrat national committee has on its website that they are the party who has fought for civil rights for the last 200 years. eye-popping. what about lincoln? what about jefferson? they throw history out of the window. you know what i keep saying, and i said it on this show, we have to take back that history, like what senator rand paul is doing. today at howard university he's taking the message of conservatism and our history to those students. >>steve: crystal wright joining us today from washington, d.c. thank you so much. have a great day. what do you think about that? e-mail us foxandfriends.com. @%en the person pitching

4:02 am
toy. >> steve: south korea saying the north is prepared to do a missile test. david piper live with the latest. are they worried they might do something stupid today? >> plenty of worry, yes. but no panic on the streets as yet in the south korean capitol. the u.s. and south korea has raised its military alert levels now over concerns north korea is going to conduct a missile test at any time. south korea is also raising its terror alert levels, which means they're beefing up their military patrols around key installations. the latest smells suggests they could launch the missile at any time. sources say they believe the mid range missile is ready to be launched from an east coast mobile site. some here say the missile test could take place on the 15th. that is the day north korea celebrates the birthday of the country's founder, kim jong-un, grandfather of current leader.
4:03 am
officials in seoul say north korea may conduct a launch of several missiles at the same time. sources say satellites have picked up the movement of shorter medium range missiles in other parts of the north. japan is preparing to deal with any missile launch by the south. they deployed warships with the capability of intercepting a missile and also have a second line of defense in and around tokyo with patriot missiles out there now. u.s. has also got warships in the area and they're moving antimissile defense system to guam because north korea has warned it could possibly attack there in the future. back to you guys in the studio. >> steve: all right. david piper live in seoul, south korea. look for something between now and april 15 because april 15 is the anniversary of the founding. so if they're going to do something between now and then. >> gretchen: hopefully not. another developing story. the secret service investigating the suspicious car at the white
4:04 am
house. right now police closed several roads and at least one metro entrance. we'll continue to keep the up-- you updated. the american parents accused of kid naping their -- kidnapping their own children are back in the u.s. their two sons are on the flight back with them. they were tossed in jail. the children, now back with their maternal grandparents who have legal custody. the parents lost custody after police found them in a hotel with the boys surrounded by weapons and drugs. >> right now we're just looking forward to sitting, getting them and hugging them and being with them and getting them home where they'll be safe again. >> gretchen: the family dog was also taken to cuba. authorities gave it to the boys once they landed in florida. he normally carried a stuffed monkey around campus. yesterday he changed it to a box

cutter. 20-year-old dylan quick charged with going on a slashing spree at lone star community college near houston, texas. 14 people were injured. two critically. it could have been worst if he wasn't stopped by this guy. >> as soon as i put him on the ground, i asked him, like why? why did you stab these people? he didn't say anything. we knocked his hearing aid out. i was screaming at him. i was so enraged. >> gretchen: quick told police he had fantasized about stabbing people. just a few hours, jonna winter, the reporter facing jail time will head back to court. a judge delayed his ruling on whether she will have to testify about her story and sources. it revealed before james holmes shot up a movie theater in colorado, he sent a package to a psychiatrist. it included a notebook full of details about how holmes was going to kill people. the judge has to decide if the notebook will be allowed as evidence. we'll hear from an officer who had contact with that notebook.
4:06 am
those are your headlines. now it's time to break down some numbers. >> steve: the president's budget was released at 6:00 o'clock this morning. headline, making america a magnet for jobs. with his proposal he's suggesting the federal government spends $3.77 trillion in the next year. major new taxes on the wealthy. think buffet rule on steroids. l security and on medicare as well. when you take a look at the grand sweep of things, the suggestion that this really revamps and fixes entitlements would be delusional. >> brian: yeah. 65 days late, but here are some stats. reduced increases of the deficit. ten-year savings $339 billion. what's also important -- >> gretchen: that's social security. >> brian: what i also thought is important, that's what our national debt is, that the president goes ahead and has
4:07 am
nondefense cuts in there, but there are still more defense cuts. but he also does change cpi with social security, which essentially eliminates inflation increases, which has got a lot of people on the left beside themselves. he does not raise the retirement age, which he also knows he would get absolutely no democratic support for. >> gretchen: it's interesting because originally two years ago or so, he did talk, at least ostensibly, about raising the age. but that's not on the paper yet. i think this is a starting point, though. if you're a democratic president and you have a lot of people on the left upset at with you this proposal, then you know that maybe there is some middle ground to be found in it, something. >> brian: exactly. where was it in the first four years? >> gretchen: exactly. this is a change for this president. you can argue about why he's reaching out across the aisle. whether it's legacy or whatever it is. this could be a starting point to at least have some sort of a
4:08 am
discussion about trying to reduce the deficit that we face. >> brian: tonight is dinner with republican leaders, but no leadership. john boehner says i'm done with back room dealings and mitch mcconnell says i've got nothing to say. he's trying to go around them and look at them as reasonable group he can eat with. >> steve: sure. so they're going to sit down at 6:30 tonight in the old family dining room at the white house. but keep in mind, part of the budget proposal suggested by the president today is he wants to make -- raise 600, $700 billion in new taxes from the wealthy, which the republicans in congress have said absolutely not. we already gave it to you, which means it would fail in the house, which means then come election, 2014, the president can say, those darn republicans! they're obstructionists and extremists, vote them out. you watch. >> gretchen: he will get more revenue from obamacare. but health and human services
4:09 am
secretary doesn't understand now, even after all this time -- what has it been, three years since it passed -- she claims in this latest bit that we're going to show that you she still doesn't understand why there is so much opposition to obamacare, especially after the supreme court ruled in this administration's favor last summer. >> there was some hope that once the supreme court ruled in july and then once an election occurred, there would be a sense of this is the law of the land. let's get on board. let's make this work. and yet, we find ourselves still having sort of state by state political battles. >> steve: state by state political battles. where was the contingency plan on the administration's part? remember, it was out there that the states would have the option of setting up their own exchanges. 33 states have said no, we're not going to because this is a gigantic administrative nightmare. we're not going to get involved in and we don't want to get left holding the bag if it costs a lot of dough.
4:10 am
where was the contingency plan from the white house? apparently they didn't have one. >> brian: it's almost unimplementable if that is a word. a lot of people don't know how to do this. how you -- how you do this to insure 30 million americans and what sacrifice and how many industry also fall apart in the process and how much will your quality of care drop. congressman goudie says this was very predictable. listen. >> this is what you get when you don't have a single republican vote in an effort to remake one fifth of your economy. the states weren't consulted. i don't know a physician that thinks obamacare is a good idea. so this was a top down remedy to one fifth of our economy. 13,000 regulations. the bad news is, she's just getting started. >> gretchen: some physicians agreed, or remember the people in the white coats standing behind president obama when he would talk about obamacare. but probably for the most part,
4:11 am
most physicians don't because there aren't enough physicians right now. that's one of the major hurdles right now is how are you going to come up with enough -- first of all, people who want to become doctors anymore. second of all, existing doctors. there are not enough of them to be able to service all of these extra people, not to mention all of the medicare problems, what doctors are going to be able to take those payments. they're already under water in many circumstances already. so a myriad of problems with getting this whole plan in place. >> steve: the key really is the exchanges. the administration had three years to set up the exchanges and they have failed miserably. they should have had a back up plan. in the meantime, where are we? >> brian: here is the practical thing, a lot of people couldn't care less who is president and who their congressman is. but they sit there and go to the doctor and notice the premiums are up. they notice they have to pay more into their policy. they know doctors are saying, you give me cash and you go to your insurance company and try to get your money back. when things start falling apart at the person to person level, that's with people say y did this happen?
4:12 am
why is obamacare so thick? i thought this was supposed to help us. who exactly is it helping? no one can stop the american people from saying and concluding things are harder and the quality dropped. that's what we're getting 'cause this is a slow rollout. >> steve: my wife was on the phone with our prescription coverage company for over the last two days arguing over one prescription. you look at -- you connect the dots, it looks like they're trying to manage the price of the care, all part of obamacare. >> gretchen: one thing is for sure f you're not vigilant about health insurance and making phone calls, you might pay more than you need to. coming up on the show, ladies, forget everything you've heard about turning 40. the big secret just revealed about that age and even a little bit older. >> steve: then we told you yesterday the treasury department gave the green light to beyonce's vacation to communist cuba. but our next guest says there are way more troubling things the administration is doing when
4:13 am
it comes to cuba. right back. >> brian: don't forget jay-z [ female announcer ] she did a full day at the office, went home and fed her family. now she's helping her community. no wonder it's hard to focus on her own needs. but she's got one a day women's, a complete multivitamin with key nutrients women may need all in one pill. because our focus is you.

celebrity couple was there for no other reason than to take a vacation. so what kind of backlash will they face, if any? john suarez is the international director for the directorate. he's here with his reaction. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so we know that beyonce and jay-z, they did this legally. they did go to the treasury department and got this whatever visa they needed to travel there. it did seem more like a vacation. i have to say i was surprised because for the most part, they have been relatively good role models as far as hollywood standards go in our country. >> well, they were also outed because it was the cuban government itself that came out saying it was a vacation and portrayed it as something touristic and there was a reason for that. the government was very upset that people like the cuban ladies in white have been traveling and getting media coverage. rosa maria paya was calling for
4:18 am
an international investigation into her father's death, the ladies in white, these women, many of them afro cuban who are regularly beaten and assaulted for requesting the release of political prisoners, has also been garnering a lot of media attention internationally. so what they've done is they've manipulated this visit by beyonce and jay-z to shift attention away from these activists. >> gretchen: i see. >> i would also like to point out that among these activists that have been brutally treated and that require health care, someone like the rosa parks foundation for human rights, on may 7 was brutally beaten down into unconsciousness for engaging in nonviolent protest and still has not received proper medical care. this is the cuban reality that beyonce and jay-z just happened to walk, stumble upon when constituent for their fifth anniversary. >> gretchen: one would think that maybe as a power couple, they were going to cuba to
4:19 am
actually bring more attention to the black cubans who are imprisoned there at a high rate, or the other millions of people who are suffering there. were you surprised that that was not the mission? >> i was very surprised. unfortunately, they didn't meet with the ladies in white. there is a campaign underway on twitter, five minutes to meet with beta, that people are requesting they meet with her now shah that's going to be in the united states in the next few days. but no, they didn't do it during their visit. disappointing. i think it also highlights another thing, even in the case of cultural exchange or academic exchange in cuba, what it amounts to is an indoctrination session. i had the experience of meeting a very capable woman from harvard university who spent a smellser in havana and she was spouting all the regime propaganda. i had to sit down with her for ten minute, give her the links to amnesty international, human

expense. our next guest says i want to change that. georgia public service commissioner doug everett and he joins us live from georgia. doug, what do you want to do different here? >> well, i want to start charging a nominal fee that the law gives us the right to do to try to help some of the fraud that is within the program. i know that back last year, six of the top cell phone companies, at & t, sprint, et cetera, was audited by a company that found that it was nearly 41% of the phones they had given out were fraudulent received by the people. >> brian: they had money, they could afford their own and got them anyway? >> well, i don't know about they could afford the phone, but they got them fraudulently. we had a lot of phones put out fraudulently here in georgia. i think that the ones that we have out, probably approaching that figure ourselves.
4:49 am
we've had people -- i know one guy, he had 12 phones. had a gentleman in florida said they had one gentleman had over 30 phones. and they were receiving. this was one way to try to cut down on the fraud. >> brian: right. what you're doing is you want to charge $5 per phone and so far in terms of the numbers, they're staggering. $819 million for this program. there has got to be a way to crack down on it. five dollars for a phone sounds reasonable. >> well, seems reasonable to me. but it's not just a consumer that we have the problem with. like i said, some of the cell phone companies. we had one cell phone company just sending phones out to people and the people, they did not even wish to have a telephone. the company is receiving 9.25 subsidy from the uas fund for each phone they send out. that's per month.
4:50 am
and we had one phone company up in alaska that for four years, they gave false information to the sec. they were fined a million dollars dollars, but that's a drop in the bucket. >> brian: a lot of people say this is cracking down on people that are having a hard time and need these phones. what do you say to people who say that to you? >> well, the people are paying approximatelily $2.50 a month, the rate payers. some of the people, the poor people that cannot afford the phones need them and i feel sorry they have been caught in this. but there is just as many poor people that's just above the line that's just above a cutoff line, they're having to pay 2.50 per month for those people that are below the line. >> brian: you can't legislate ethics. >> right. i have a tendency to --

a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day
4:59 am
can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat,

"fox & friends" starts now. >> steve: all right. you know, generally you associate penguins with cold weather. it is the warmest day of the year and yet, look who is coming today with jack hannah, some beautiful, just born, just hatched penguins. >> brian: we were waiting for them to be hatched before we booked him. >> steve: thumbs up. >> gretchen: we'll learn about them in a few minutes. in the meantime, let's get to your headlines. fox news alert.

waiting what happens for what appears to be an imminent missile launch from north korea. the south announcing preps have been completed for a missile test and the prospect of a launch is, quote, considerably high. it's expected to be a medium range missile with a range of more than 2100 miles. japan has destroyed patriot missile interceptors across tokyo. they deployed them in the event of a launch. we'll have a live report at the bottom of the hour. american parents accused of kidnapping their kids and sailing to cuba are back in the united states in handcuffs. the plane transporting the couple landed around 3:00 o'clock this morning. the two sons also on that flight. they were then tossed in jail. the children now back with their maternal grandparents who have legal custody of them. the parents lost custody after police found them in a hotel with the boys surrounded by weapons and drugs. >> right now we're just looking forward to sitting, getting them and hugging them and being with
5:03 am
them and getting them home where they'll be safe again. >> gretchen: family dog was also taken to cuba. authorities gave it to the boys once they landed in florida. this is a little strange. he normally carried a stuffed monkey around on campus. that could have been a red flag. but yesterday it was a box cutter that he was carrying. 20-year-old dylan quick charged with going on a slashing spree at lone star community college near houston, texas. he injured 14 people allegedly. two of them critically. it could have been worse if he wasn't stopped by this guy. >> as soon as i put him on the ground, i asked him, like why? why did you stab these people? he didn't tell me anything. we knocked his hearing aid out. he couldn't hear us, i was screaming at him. >> gretchen: quick said he had fantasized about stabbing people. finally, someone who do not give lindsay lohan a pass. last night david letterman grilled the troubled actress about her upcoming stint in rehab. >> what are they rehabbing, first of all? what is on their list?
5:04 am
what are they going to work on when you walk through the door? >> we didn't discuss this in the preinterview. >> do you have addiction problem s? >> now you sound like dr. phil. >> yeah, i'm sorry. is it like alcohol? do you drink too much? >> we've discussed this in the past. >> did we really? when did we discuss it? i'm the one having the blackout blackouts. >> gretchen: she is entering rehab may 2. i believe it's court order. she faces a 90-day isn't as part of a plea. >> steve: everything in her life seems is court ordered. >> brian: she's lucky because she can afford to stay there. normally if you can't afford it, which most people have drug or addictions have, you're in and out in ten days. she could get a full six months if she needed it. she does. president obama finally unveiling his budget for next year today. it's a 65 days late. republicans say it will do absolutely nothing to solve the nation's debt crisis.
5:05 am
>> steve: you know what? wendell goler is live on the north lawn of the white house to tell us what we know about the budget that was released officially at 6:00 a.m. this morning. >> well, not just yet for most people leased. that will be a few hours from now, steve. we know the three and three quarter trillion dollars budget is more than two months late. it's already drawing criticism from the left and right. it's intend to do trim the national debt over the next ten years. republicans say that's not enough. they say the $600 billion in tax hikes in the budget is for them far too much. the white house says the budget is a compromise. >> i think democrats and allies understand that this budget the president will put forward tomorrow is not his ideal budget it is a document that recognizes that to achieve a bipartisan solution to our budget challenges, we need to make tough choices. it demonstrates in stark
5:06 am
contrast to the house republican budget, that you can invest in our economy and protect our middle class and protect our seniors and reduce the deficit. >> progressives object to reductions in the growth of social security and medicare that would save about $130 billion over the next ten years and cost the average 75-year-old about $550 a year once they're fully phased in. republicans, meanwhile, say they have seen and rejected this plan before. >> it's quite similar, frankly, to his budget last year and it's two months late. we're not sure this is a serious exercise. we're still hoping that we'll get a chance to solve the biggest problem plaguing our country, our deficit and debt, coming out of the discussions that the president is having with various members and others. >> tonight the president will host another dozen republican senators for dinner. second time he's done this. this time here at the white
5:07 am
house. table talks likely to center around gun control, immigration reform and the budget, which is being delivered to capitol hill in a few minutes and will be up on the office of management and budget web site for us to see about 11:15. >> steve: thank you very much. we got some detail this is morning. the president will make a statement at 11:00 o'clock from the rose garden. you'll see it right here on fox news channel. >> gretchen: you know if you're going to washington, d.c., you still cannot go and do those white house tours because they are off limits because allegedly of sequestration. they just cost too much, so that was one of the first things to go. some people were scratching their heads when the president still had a huge party last night at the white house. but only friends from hollywood were there, at least the ones on stage. they were performing. >> brian: it was a salute to soul community in memphis. al green was there, queen latifah, not a real queen. it's a nickname. cindy lauper was there.
5:08 am
>> steve: jessica biel was there and justin timberlake. take a look right there, bringing sequester back. keep in mind, this is the tenth one of these event that the president has hosted during his years there in the white house. and the optics of the fact that we can't take a tour, but they can, apparently the white house really doesn't care. invite everybody in, it's great big lavish party. sorry, you're not invited. you can watch it on pbs. >> brian: i know their chef has been forced to -- >> steve: assistant chef. >> brian: has to take a furlough day. i think they could have paid for his day of work if they didn't have to have this party. some would say, isn't it a separate part of the budget? i think you're the president, i think you can move some money around. >> gretchen: it's just the optics of everything. the way we live now, it's all about the pictures and the videotape. in this case, some people might see that juxtaposition of nobody going into the white house but having this huge party as problematic for the president.
5:09 am
although i have to say coming in this morning when you listen to the story on the radio, they say the president had this party and it was great music. >> steve: yeah. and they don't remind people as we do what the cost is. the cost is no public tours. the president last night had this comment. he said tonight i'm not speaking as president, but as one of america's best known al green imperson ators. apparently his wife kidded him, he thinks he sings like al green. michelle obama said, let's just say he does, okay? >> gretchen: austan goolsbee says that we should be thankful because the president actually is trying to help sequestration because he gave back $20,000 from his salary. last night sean hannity seems to have a problem with that analysis. >> it's getting better at a modest rate. it needs to be faster. you and i agree on that. >> where were you when the president gave back $20,000 of his salary? gave back to the taxpayer. >> cry me a river!
5:10 am
cry me a river! how about -- forget the $20,000. how about stop taking vacations and playing golf with tiger at $180,000 air force one hour? you're on drugs! you can't be serious! >> brian: he did fly out there, the president, just for a fund-raiser to los angeles and he'll be coming to new york just to raise money. >> steve: yeah. so did the dnc pay 180,000 bucks an hour for air force one? i doubt it. i'm sure he was able to say it was part of my job. >> gretchen: some bit of controversy, an ad over at msnbc has melissa harris per yerkes one of their weekend anchors and a professor at tulane university, she talks about kids growing up in american society today and the fact that they're really part of the community. see what you think about it. is it taking the role and the responsibility of parents away? >> we have never invested as
5:11 am
much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. we haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children, so part of it is we have to break through our private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. >> steve: oh, great. that kind of talk is reminiscent of hillary clinton's book "it takes a village." this morning, the headline is, if takes a village idiot to say kids belong to the state. >> brian: hillary clinton, by the way, she said it takes a village, was never going to say chelsea was going to be raised by somebody else. >> gretchen: exactly. i think this takes it -- this was totally down the road. obviously people influence your children when they're growing up. their coaches, piano teachers, sunday school teachers. yeah. a lot of people influence them and thank goodness they can have great mentors. but when it comes right down to it, do you agree with tony
5:12 am
perkins that the parents actual lea are the most central people in a child's life? >> this idea of collectivism that everyone but no one is responsible. it's a nutty notion, gretchen, but it's a staple idea of the left. this is the 201 version of hillary clinton. we should be very concerned about howe the kids the down the street do because we all rise or fall based on how the next generation does. reality is, first off, children are not a commodity. they are a gift of the lord. they come to the parents. we have a responsibility as the parent to raise those children. >> steve: so what do you think about it? david from florida e-mailed us, where is the community when it comes to paying for my daughter's college tuition? i am sorry, but i and my wife are and have been responsible for our daughter's upbringing. >> brian: marsha would need a girl's voice. >> gretchen: here we go again from indiana. tony is right. children are born to a mom and dad and the responsibility for

5:18 am
my friend used to say, children are our future. so now we're going to jump the interest rate from 3.4% to 6.8%, up to 60% of college age americans get these loans. so they're going to get out of college and face this staggering burden, the debt that students owe in this country and former students is greater than the credit card debt. so are we going to go -- in fact, there is a study. by 2018, we'll be short about 3 million college educated americans in this country. so this program began as part of the defense and space race with russia, the soviet union. we said, we've got to better educate our students. so we subsidized crony capitalism and all these idiot energy companies and the president's friends. is he subsidize all these programs for people who don't want to work, so when we have ambitious, young, wonderful americans who want to make a
